Bhopal (or some strange indian sounding name)

The inhumanity of some people just amazes me sometimes. Take the Bhopal incedent for example. Some small chemical manufacturing company set up a factory near Bhopal. This particular company was bought by a bigger chemical manufacturing company, called Dow. Then, soon after being bought, or else right before, I can't remember which, but probably before, this factory had one of the largest chemical spills/accidents in the world. This chemical spill was very near the city of Bhopal. Many people were killed and almost everyone was mutated, or injured, sorta like if you live near a nuclear plant, except with chemicals. So guess what Dow did to compensate for all this. They gave all the dead peoples family $500 and said "There. We've done our share. Now they just have to live with it." And, they didn't even clean up the chemicals that brought all of this around! So, as a result, people living around that area contine to die early, have mutated babies, and live in total and complete misery. But wait, it gets better. There are these people who set up a website called "the yes men". Their website looks like it's made by Dow workers, for the Dow corporation, but it is actually made by some people who... dislike Dow to say the least, and are in no way related to the Dow company. One of the major british TV stations (BBC1) thought that on... I think it's the 20th anniversary of this incident, they should invite someone from the Dow company to say how things are going in Bhopal. They, thinking that the yes men were from Dow, they invited them to come on air. Now the yes men didn't want to just go onto TV and say how horrible etc. Dow was, because they had done it before, to some other company, and it hadn't yielded very good results. So, instead when they went on air, they acted exactly as if they were Dow workers, telling everyone how wonderful Dow was etc. But here's the beuty of the plan. They then told everyone that Dow was at this very moment cleaning uptheir mess, and letting all the mutated people into top quality hosptals for free etc. Dow of course was not doing this, so when people eagerly asked people who really worked for Dow, the Dow company was forced to make a public statement on BBC1 that they were doing absoloutly nothing to help the victims or clean up the chemicals! How much more embarrasing can you get than that!

**** Bush!

Hola!
I'm amazed at how long I was able to hold out, without mentioning anything about polotics in this blog! But, now you will be forced to hear my opinions on the inferiority of the american government *evil laughter*! First, I greatly dislike bush he is a complete... Well, I won't go in to that particular aspect, be cause I probably shouldn't cuss here. Second, I think the electoral college is absoloutly usless. They do nothing except deny the will of the people. Bush actually lost the popular vote, but, solely because the majority of California voted for bush, he won the electoral vote! How dumb is that! I have one more thing to moan and groan about for now. For now. The Black Hills of North Dakota. what bush did with thoses is absouloutly revolting. Ugh. First you have to know that the black hills are not a range of hills, but actually a rather large mountain range. Back in the year... 18 something the Black Hills were given to the... I think Sioux? indians, to live on and plant stuff on or whatever. The Black Hills are sacred ground to the Sioux. Now, along came bush, and early in his first term ( yes I know that was a while ago, but I'm still moaning about it, so (don't) sue me!) and he decided that he wanted to mine for oil in the Black Hills. First he tried sneaking in to mine, while hoping that the Sioux wouldn't notice. The Sioux (thankfully) noticed. So than he offered htem $1,000,000 to buy the Black Hills with. The Sioux must not have been as stupid as he thought. They didn't accept. so then he seperated every tribe of Sioux to try and starve them, and make them accept. Luckily for the U.S., they still didn't accept, and everyone got really angry at bush. Yay!

P.S.What is your email dress thomas?
